Christen set the alarm clock for 5:30, knowing she would have to wake me up (I've been known to sleep through the smoke detector going off).

I made it out here about 45 minutes before sunrise. It was very difficult to see, I was worried about waking any homeless people that might be sleeping under the pier, thankfully there were none (I like working completely alone).

I had to focus this manually, it was still too dark to see clearly, which is why it is a bit on the soft side. Having to rotate the image about 1.75 degrees clockwise didn't help, either. Getting an even horizon was far more difficult than focusing. It was difficult to see the both the lines in the viewfinder and the horizon itself.
